Cheba Hut "Toasted" Subs — Restaurant in Cheyenne

There needs to be a certain amount of grace and forgiveness when going to any restaurant on their official first day of being open. Keeping to a Vegan diet in meat centric Cheyenne with a new crew doesn't make things easier. I'm sure somethings will improve as they get their footing. It was interesting to be there during an "off-peak" time mid-afternoon and the place was very busy with dine in and to-go orders. Despite the "stress test" their crew gets high marks for being cheerful, cooperative, and cordial. All of that counts for much.

I write to inform people who keep to a vegan aka plant based diet where they can find places to eat in Cheyenne. It is in that context my review is best understood. Others who keep to an omnivior diet likely have a different experience than me when it comes to the food served.

I ordered a Vegan "Magic Mushroom" "pinner" (8") on whole wheat minus pepper Jack, and minus shake (parmesan), with a $1.50 upcharge to add guacamole. Total cost including tax and tip was just under $16.00

They told me it would take about 20 minutes and I was fine with that. Unfortunately, what they brought out had the seasoned Parmesan sprinkled all over it. I pointed that out and the server apologized for the error and said one would be correctly made. About 10 minutes later that is what was served to me.

It's an okay, not great sandwich. Look at my picture and you will see there's one piece of portobello slice and one slice of tomato on each half of the sandwich. When the sandwich is called "Magic Mushroom" I honestly expect it's going to have a generous amount of mushrooms on it and was unpleasantly surprised when it didn't. The toasted whole wheat is the only vegan bread option and is fine, especially since it makes up most of the sandwich. It would be nice if they would substitute the guacamole for cheese without the upcharge, but that is probably a "corporate decision". As a plus they are open late. A downside is that it is just not a very satisfying sandwich. Being more generous with the mushrooms would go a long way to remedy that. I hope it's something they will consider as well as adding more vegan friendly, healthy eating options.

There are other sandwiches, including one which includes hummus, which might be more substantial. I'll try it some other time.

Service ☆☆☆☆☆ (Awesome start) Food ☆☆☆ (It was tasty) Value ☆☆ (overpriced for what I got) Ambience- confusing, the vibe is stoners wanting to satisfy munchies which is natural in Marijuana legal Colorado but seems strange in "Refer Madness" anti-cannabis Wyoming. Not a big deal, but amusing incongruous. They have a bar which fits Wyoming...

BTW almost all the pervious reviews are from a private event before they opened.

Note this review is from opening day. The time from the door to the register was not bad at all. Overall I would have been okay with an hour wait for a grand opening of a chain that is this popular. As I was waiting for 30 minutes I noticed that the two people that ordered right before me have gotten their order and had been eating for about 10 minutes so I asked about how long my food was going to be and they said "your food was about to be up about 5 minutes". Then after waiting for about 15 minutes I asked a diffrent person and he did the same thing as the other worker looking at the other line's computer and said 5 minutes. Then after about another 15 minutes I asked a lady that worked there to seem to be a manager and I explained to her that the people who were directly infront of me were done with their food and my friend who ordered about 10 minutes after I arrived got his food after being there for 15 minutes, this lady didn't seem to care or try to solve the issue. After everything it took an hour after ordering to receive my food. I understand that it is a grand opening but and if they would have told me that it would be about 30 minutes after I asked the first time I would have understood. I don't appreciate being disregarded...

Cheba Hut Cheyenne made me feel again. I hadn’t tasted joy since 2016, but then I bit into a Power Plant with jalapeño hummus and turkey, and for one brief, shining moment… I forgot the crushing weight of modern existence. The bread was soft. The turkey was warm. The hummus? Spicy enough to remind me I still have feelings. It didn’t just hit, it diagnosed me. That sandwich looked into my soul, saw the void, and filled it with carbs and mild euphoria. The staff greeted me like I hadn’t made a series of irreversible life choices. Like I wasn’t clearly running from something. One of them told me to “stay toasted” and honestly? That’s the most useful advice I’ve received in years. The music felt curated by a sentient lava lamp with commitment issues and I loved it. One track made me reconsider a breakup. Another made me crave tater tots. I didn’t even order tots. Do you even have tots? Atmosphere-wise, it’s a mix between a head shop, a Salvador Dali art project, and the last thing you see before your edible kicks in. This isn’t a sandwich shop. It’s a refuge for the spiritually dehydrated. Final thoughts? Cheba Hut didn’t save my life. But it definitely delayed the spiral. Go. Eat. And if the void still stares back… get the Rice...
